Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2439 - 2503: I Knew You Would Appear

Li Yifei’s shoulder was bitten, and it was a very forceful bite. Naturally, Li Yifei wouldn’t struggle to break free from her. He gently patted her back, softly comforting her, "I’m here now. I won’t let you fall into danger.""Woo woo woo!" Aoki Reiko seemed very emotional. Her body was trembling, and she was making wooing sounds with her mouth but wouldn’t let go, as if opening her mouth would make Li Yifei run away. Of course, she didn’t bite for long, and when she let go of Li Yifei, Aoki Reiko’s hands still clung tightly to his clothes, even pinching his flesh.

"Why did you take so long to come, why did you take so long! Woo woo woo!" Aoki Reiko cried sadly. How long had she waited for this day? Since their separation, she had been waiting for this day. Even Suzuki Kawako and her father didn’t quite understand her obstinacy, thinking time would eventually change Aoki Reiko, but she didn’t compromise. She persisted, waited, searched, and finally, today, at this moment, in this situation, Mr. Mu Fei appeared, just like before. Mr. Mu Fei seemed to appear out of thin air, by her side, sending those hooligans flying and saving her once more.

How could Aoki Reiko not be excited? She didn’t even know what to say.

Li Yifei gently patted her back and comforted, "I’m here; I’m taking you home."

"Woo woo woo, don’t move, I’m afraid this is a dream. I’m afraid I drank too much, fell asleep, and dreamt. Don’t move, let me savor this moment. Since you left, I’ve missed you terribly for so many days, hoping every day you would appear, but... you never showed up. Woo woo woo, Mu Fei, do you know how much I’ve missed you?" Aoki Reiko’s emotions erupted, as she spoke excitedly while tears ran down her face.

Li Yifei nodded silently. He naturally knew this girl’s feelings towards him, but... he hadn’t expected her feelings to be so deep and heavy. Holding her in his arms, Li Yifei said, "You won’t have to worry anymore. Now that I’m here, I won’t leave."

"Really?" Aoki Reiko’s eyes widened, with tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. Hearing Li Yifei’s words, her hands, though not gripping his clothes tightly, still clung to them as if letting go meant Li Yifei would run away.

"Yes, really, I promise," Li Yifei nodded and said.

Aoki Reiko nodded in response but then shook her head, saying, "I don’t believe you. As soon as I turn around, you’ll run away."

"I won’t. I’ve always kept my word," Li Yifei said, "Come, I’ll carry you home."

"Okay!" Aoki Reiko agreed readily.

Li Yifei picked up Aoki Reiko. As for those hooligans, in the instant he acted, Li Yifei had already ended their lives. He felt mercy towards his compatriots, but for these hooligans, he had no mercy at all. If you dare to do evil, especially towards Aoki Reiko, then he has enough reason to be ruthless.

Carrying Aoki Reiko back to her car, she fell asleep nestled in his arms during the ride. Having drunk so much and experienced fear, her emotions had fluctuated greatly. Aoki Reiko was indeed very tired. Of course, the most crucial thing was Li Yifei’s appearance, which made her feel safe enough to sleep.

Driving slowly, Li Yifei glanced at Aoki Reiko sleeping in the passenger seat and let out a faint smile. Once some things are done, there are not many other issues left. However... he wonders how this girl will react when she wakes up and faces the truth.

Thus, Li Yifei didn’t take her home but went to a hotel. After checking in, he cleaned Aoki Reiko’s body and saw the injury on her abdomen. Li Yifei felt even more heartache seeing where she was hurt, hesitating a moment before finding a medical kit. He undressed her, leaving only her undies, wiped away the blood, looked at the open wound, and carefully disinfected with alcohol. Even in her sleep, Aoki Reiko felt the pain and twisted her body uneasily, so Li Yifei used his True Qi to ease her discomfort. This process continued for two to three hours, with Li Yifei even using Innate Vital Energy to help heal her wound.

Actually, he never intentionally disguised himself as Mu Feijun. It’s just that Aoki Reiko, in her drunken state, saw him as Mu Feijun.

There was only a shallow scar left on Aoki Reiko’s abdomen, the entire wound having healed. Given continuous treatment, it would be completely healed in a few days, that is if Li Yifei could keep helping her with the treatment.

As time passed, Li Yifei worried about Aoki Reiko’s reaction upon waking. Compared to Zhang Dabao, Li Yifei felt he was the greatest deceiver to Aoki Reiko. Clearly right in front of her, within reach, and he knew everything all along. He had personally witnessed Aoki Reiko’s obsession with the ’Mu Feijun’ she conjured and had never revealed the truth.

Even watching Aoki Reiko’s sadness these past few days... he wondered if she’d tear him apart once she knew. Li Yifei thought, turning to glance at Aoki Reiko sleeping soundly, feeling a bit worried.

Of course, even if she wants to vent, Li Yifei would definitely accept it, because it was his mistake.

An hour later, Aoki Reiko awoke, feeling a slight headache and her mouth dry. Opening her eyes, she blinked slowly, and as her consciousness returned, so did her memory, recalling previous snippets.

Seeing the room’s decor, she realized this wasn’t her home but looked more like a hotel. Aoki Reiko quickly supported her sore and soft body to sit up, lifting the quilt to see that she was still wearing clothes on her upper body, but below was only underwear. Her cold sweat started pouring down immediately, realizing her pants were gone, leaving only underwear...

Thinking back to being pestered after drinking, Aoki Reiko felt a chill in her heart, but she quickly shook her head, feeling something was amiss. She clearly remembered Mr. Mu Fei appearing and chasing those bad people away.

"Bad people, Mr. Mu Fei!" Aoki Reiko murmured while tossing off the blanket. Her eyes searched for Mu Fei’s figure, but there was no Mu Fei in the bedroom, as for outside the door...

"Creak!" The bedroom door handle twisted open and the door followed suit, revealing Li Yifei’s figure at the entrance. He was about to say, "You’re awake," but upon seeing Aoki Reiko’s actions and posture, he was taken aback. Aoki Reiko sat up, lifted the blanket, revealing her two long, fair ****, with only underwear below.

Aoki Reiko was startled for a moment but quickly reacted, grabbing the blanket and covering herself, glaring as she said, "Why...why did you come in here?"

Surprisingly, she didn’t shout for him to leave. Li Yifei was indeed tempted to turn around and leave, but he still stopped, smiled at the saintess, naturally walked in, closed the door casually and said, "You’re awake, how are you feeling?"

"Where’s Mr. Mu Fei? Did he leave again and ask you to take care of me?" When Aoki Reiko wasn’t drunk, she naturally wasn’t so confused. Seeing that it was Li Yifei and not Mr. Mu Fei coming in, she quickly figured out a possibility. Aoki Reiko trusted her memory had no error; what happened before wasn’t just a dream. Because she felt the discomfort in her abdomen, touching it, she could also feel a scar, so... she drank too much, was pestered by punks, and Mr. Mu Fei appeared at a critical moment to save her. This incident genuinely happened.

If it were Mr. Mu Fei coming in, how great would that be? Aoki Reiko sighed inwardly. Although Li Yifei was her good friend, at this moment, she still wished it was Mr. Mu Fei who came in.

To meet the gentleman, Why Not Feel Joy, Aoki Reiko admitted she had felt somewhat fond of Li Yifei at some time, but it was not as strong as her feelings for Mr. Mu Fei. She even reproached herself for some time because of it, so when she saw Li Yifei a few days ago, she felt a sense of shame, but her favorite was still Mr. Mu Fei, Aoki Reiko thought.

In Aoki Reiko’s eyes, sadness was hard to hide. Although Mr. Mu Fei appeared again this time, she was in a drunken state. She still remembered the scene of crying while holding him, but after all, that was a drunken state, the feelings were not distinct. Now she was sober, but Mr. Mu Fei was gone, only Li Yifei standing, similar in stature and shape to Mr. Mu Fei, with eyes extremely alike.

Aoki Reiko didn’t wait for Li Yifei’s reply; she smiled bitterly and said, "It seems he doesn’t want to see me, and that’s that. I shouldn’t insist."

Li Yifei touched his nose, pulled a chair over, and sat by the bed. For a moment, he thought since Aoki Reiko hadn’t connected him with Mu Fei’s situation, why not leave it that way? But after a few seconds, Li Yifei still shook his head.

"Why shake your head?" Aoki Reiko noticed Li Yifei’s move and asked.

"I... cough." Li Yifei used a cough to cover it up and said, "How do you feel now?"

"I’m fine, not uncomfortable anymore, Yifei, you haven’t answered my question yet. Did Mr. Mu Fei leave?" Aoki Reiko pressed.

Li Yifei clicked his tongue, and after a full half-minute, he said, "Reiko, are we good friends?"

"Of course, we’re good friends, and you’re one of my few male friends, even among the best," Aoki Reiko said.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "If... I’ve done something to let you down, could you forgive me?"

"Something to let me down?" Aoki Reiko frowned, her post-drunken face originally sallow, now seemed paler. She said, "Did you say something to Mr. Mu Fei and make him angry enough to leave?"

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "It’s not that matter."

"Then what is it?"

"It’s just... deceiving you, lying to you," Li Yifei said at this point.

Aoki Reiko suddenly stopped, looking at Li Yifei, as if appraising him. After a while, she said, "Yifei, you’re my friend, a very good friend. I think there shouldn’t be any secrets between us, or else... we can’t continue being friends."
